This week on social media we posted a ton of pictures. I always get asked for product names, descriptions and links. Below you'll find all the information needed to duplicate each Custom Kydex Holster!

Here's the Custom IWB Holster for a Springfield XDS 3.3" in .45 with Viridian C5L with ECR capability. The ECR capable holster comes with a magnet that turns the laser on upon drawing your weapon. The holster shown here is a Left Handed Holster with a mid ride height and a straight draw (zero cant).

Here we've got the RAM Mounted Vehicle Holster for a Glock 26/27/33. There are two types of mounts that can be purchased: The option above, which is the Flat Surface Mount (requires drilling) and the Tough-Claw, which clamps onto a railing.

The Ram Mounted Vehicle Holsters are a great option for carrying in the car. The Holster shown above is holding a Glock 33. The Mount is placed on the left, and though you can't see it, the holster has "Slight Wrap" as the muzzle coverage.

Here is our Concealed Carry Package in Black Carbon Fiber. The Concealed Carry Package comes with a Kydex IWB Holster and an IWB Single Magazine Carrier. The package can be built for just about any firearm, and also for many light/laser attachments.

Here is my AIWB Holster for the Sig Sauer P938. The color is Natural Leather Texture, with a Black 1.5" J-Hook. My ride height is mid, and my cant is zero (straight draw). I am wearing a buckle-less bullhide gunbelt, perfect for carrying at the appendix. The lack of buckle really helps with concealment when carrying int his position. I have the Appendix Rig Holster Package, which consists of our Modular Appendix Rig and Buckle-less Belt.

Here is our newest product- the RMR cut IWB Holster. This is our new Black Leather Texture, and the holster is a mid ride height with 7.5° forward cant angle.

Smith & Wesson recently came out with their upgraded full sized M&P 2.0

Not
only does it appear to be stylized like their other new pistol, the
M&P Shield .45, it comes with a new corrosion resistant finish, a
new trigger assembly, full grip stippling and 4 grip options instead of 3
options with the original models.
The Smith & Wesson Website boasts:

the M&P M2.0 delivers an entirely new platform, introducing
innovative features in nearly every aspect of the pistol, including
trigger, grip, frame, and finish. Highlights of the M&P M2.0 pistol
include an extended stainless-steel chassis and high grip to barrel bore
axis ratio for reduced muzzle rise and faster aim recovery. The M&P
M2.0 pistol further improves performance with a fine-tuned, crisper
trigger, lighter pull and a tactile and audible reset. The pistol,
available in three calibers, includes an aggressively-textured grip and
four interchangeable palm swell inserts for optimal hand-fit and trigger
reach.

As we are a holster company, I feel it's important
to also include the fact that any Kydex holster made to fit the older
M&P models will fit this newer model, however holsters made for the
new M&P will not fit the older version. Leather and/or Nylon
holsters may still work.
Here are some up close shots of the new M&P 2.0 taken from Smith and Wesson's website:

This holster has been in the works for some time now. Unfortunately, we
have had to turn down a large mount of orders due to us not having the
time to perfect such a design- but no longer. This IWB Holster will only
be offered for a select number of firearms and will require a number of
detailed specifics before production begins.

Requirements:

To order this holster we will require a picture of the top of the slide
(for width) and a side view to see placement of the optic. We will also
need accurate measurements of the width of the optic, as there are a
variety of red dots available on the market. You will have to show
your exact firearm with the red dot. These holsters will be molded exactly to fit your set up, there will not be any room for error.

Wait Time:

These holsters are made to order and will be subject to the standard
Custom Holster wait time. They require a significant amount of care at
both the time of molding AND after they are assembled. As you can tell
from the pictures below they will be formed around the exact
measurements of the optic.

This is not simply a cut out for your optic: this is a molded optic
clearance designed to protect your optic sight and prevent pinching when
you re-holster your firearm. Each holster will have a full sweat
shield, cut by hand specifically for the type of firearm you order for.

Why, oh why does nobody offer left handed holsters? I
will never understand this. Did you know 12% of the world’s population
are left handed (720,000,000 to be exact) and twice as many men as
women? That's a lot of lefties being left out. See what I did there?

Left handed holsters
are no harder to make, they don't take more time; so why does no one
make them in as many colors and configurations as they do right handed
holsters?

We've been offering Custom Left Handed Holsters
since day 1. We let you choose your firearm, your light/laser
attachment, holster color, draw hand- the list goes on and on. But the
point is, if you offer "Custom Holsters" that should include both draw hand options. Don't come out with it years later and coin it as a 'new product'.

If you're looking for a Left Handed Holster- choose any of our holsters and you will be able to select your draw hand. We offer options for Left Hand in both our Custom Kydex Holsters and our Quick Ship Holsters for over 290 firearms.

About Me

Our products are hand crafted in the USA from .093" Boltaron/Kydex and molded to each firearm for a perfect fit. Like all of our products, the draw retention is completely adjustable. Using melonite finished hardened steel, our hardware may be the toughest in the business. Reaching a staggering 70pts on the rockwell scale, our product is impervious to rust. We are so confident our products will last a lifetime we are guarenteeing it with no questions asked. Thats right, we offer a lifetime NO B.S warranty! Boltaron and Kydex Both are an acrylic/PVC alloy that is durable, fire retardant, impact and chemical resistant. Boltaron and Kydex are uniquely suited as the primary building material of the most rugged of all action specialty gear. They are unmatched in the ability to provide a solid secure grip on your weapon while at the same time allowing a crisp, clean, break on the draw. The memory inherent materials allow your holster or sheath to retain its shape and grip -- draw after draw, year after year. Why not a leather or nylon holster? Unlike leather, Boltaron and Kydex will not decay, rot, dry out or absorb moisture. The acids in natural and treated leather if left in contact with your equipment will cause corrosion. Nylon is weak in its ability to retain your weapon without the use of cumbersome retaining straps. This material is many times more durable, withstanding punishment that over time would destroy even the best nylon or leather gear.
